Sacred Cycles: Litha Ritual · The Summer Solstice

Service Description

Sacred Cycles is a series of seasonal gatherings marking the turning points of the year. Rooted in the Pagan Wheel of the Year, the phases of the moon and the rhythms of the natural world, these evenings invite you to slow down, listen and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. **Litha · The Summer Solstice** At Litha, we gather near the longest day of the year. The grasses are tall, daisies are open and there’s still light over the marsh long after supper. I love that feeling of looking up and realising how late it is, when it still feels like there’s so much evening left. There’s a turn tucked inside all that light. After the solstice, the days begin to shorten again, even as summer is still gathering warmth. I’d love to spend this evening taking in what’s here while it’s here. We’ll make time to notice what’s grown since spring, what feels good to be in the middle of, and what we’d like to celebrate before the year turns again. **Blind in Mystery** We rarely know what a threshold will ask of us until we arrive inside it. I shape the practices and rituals in the days before we meet, listening to what’s happening in the season and on the land, and leaving room for what we bring into the circle together. You’re welcome to come as you are and see what unfolds. **What Awaits You** → **Seasonal Rituals & Reflection** We’ll honour the long light of midsummer through seasonal ritual and gather around a Litha altar. If you’d like to add something, bring a daisy from your garden, a shell from a summer walk or a small object that reminds you of something you’re celebrating. Bringing an offering is entirely optional. → **Yoga, Movement & Embodiment** Yoga and breath to feel the warmth and energy of the season in the body, with time to settle afterwards. → **Stillness & Journalling** Time to rest, write and reflect on what’s come into bloom for you since spring. → **Community in Circle** A space to be met as you are, in the company of other women. You’re welcome to share or simply listen. **Practical Details** → **When** Friday 18 June 2027, 7pm to 9pm → **Where** Jala Yoga Studio, Brancaster, North Norfolk → **Price** £25 Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket.
